I'm guessing Slack 12.0 doesn't come with the X headers, eh? Where can I get them, or if I'm wrong, what happened?

Compiling GTK is a pain, you need the right version of like 10 other libraries. I suggest not ever doing it.

If you really want to, you should probably ask on linuxquestions.org or something, not here.

[nslay]

Insert `gtk-config --libs` in your gcc/g++ flags.
e.g.
gcc -o myprog `gtk-config --libs` one.o two.o three.o

Not sure if gtk-config is for gtk or gtk+...let me know.  It should not be hard to compile a gtk app.

He's not compiling a gtk app, he's compiling gtk itself. Not sure if that makes any difference to your advice.

I'd rather hear back from nslay about that before modifying a gazillion-line makefile.

EDIT -
Following a combination of advice from you and Ergot (see firefox thread), I grabbed the package from the Package Browser and just installed it. For the record though, that was a problem with missing X headers, right?
